Just looking at that pic, makes me HOT! I can't imagine wearing that in 90 degree weather. Those poor women.

And wouldn't a person wearing that be at risk of drowning?They are made of lycra, and light in the water. The fabric does not get soaked and heavy. These suits (usually minus the head cover) are also worn by some Christian women who want modest dress - Quakers and Mennonites, etc.

I wonder if they have considered the material's "sink-like-an-anchor-and-drown-to-death" effect.

maybe the elastic around the wrists and ankles traps air in the garment, thus allowing the wearer to float.
LOL!

I find it to be an earworm. It will linger for days if I listen to it. And of course I had to click the link to insure it was working so now it's playing over and over in my head.

This looks like a good option. I've seen women at the beach who would've looked much better wearing these bathing suits than the bikinis they had on.

So many Muslims are such hypocrites. The most popular "underground" show I saw in UAE, Saudi, and Bahrain was Baywatch.
You could go into a bar and they had a tape of the show playing all the time. The Muslim men went nuts.
I should have told them that Yasmine Bleeth is half Jewish. That sure would have freaked them out. But then again, many of them were too drunk to communicate.
